“There.” Miri turned the guestbook around, having finished signing in. “All set.”
“Ooh, your handwriting is so pretty!” The resort receptionist gushed. She held out the room key. “Enjoy your stay!”
She certainly hoped she would. After finishing their mission on Neshtab, Miri and Kyell were both given a much deserved break. Master Yenna had suggested the chilly planet might serve as a retreat, but after the events of their little adventure, Miri was less inclined to agree.
Instead, she had gotten a room at a ski resort on Alderaan. The place was familiar to her—she had spent a couple of childhood vacations there and fell in love with it. Her fondness for cold mountain climates didn’t seem to be shared by Kyell, but she was intent on going. Given the option of accompanying her to Alderaan or heading home to Coruscant, his choice was obvious.
As Miri’s hand closed around the key, a door behind her slid open unexpectedly. A pile of snow was blown in by a howling wind, along with a hapless hotel guest who staggered toward the nearest heater, shivering.
“Is there a blizzard out there?” Miri asked, facing the receptionist again.
“Looks like it. A freak storm, too—normally the weather is much nicer at this time of year. Hopefully it will blow over soon, and then we’ll have some fresh snow on the slopes tomorrow!”
“Hopefully,” Miri agreed, picking up her luggage.
